Dad came home Sunday and acted a lot better than I anticipated! I am super happy for that. I can actually kind of hold a conversation with him but I have to shout to get his attention. It’s been like that for a couple of years now, but I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to talk to him at all. I was very surprised that he’s now on a walker and seems to be moving okay. When he left, he couldn’t stand and two people had to drag him to the car. There’s a home health person who comes now, don’t know if it’s every day or what. He’s acting 65% normal, but I’m certain there’s a lot of pain and emotions he’s bottling up. I believe I said before that’s he’s great at compartmentalising his thoughts/emotions.
Today was therapy day, and I unloaded on poor Debbie about how pissed I am at ACA for seemingly ignoring my services and not contacting me or mom when something important happens, like FIRING MY INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT PERSON. Or my peer support very suddenly quitting her job!! Lauren told me the next day that she had quit on a whim. ACA never contacted us about that either. If both of them hadn’t told me, I would have been wondering for months! They are completely derelict. Another thing is that they have some dumbass hang up about assigning me back with my former individual support, Denise. They just won’t and nobody knows why. I told Debbie how much that pisses me the fuck off. The lack of communication and whatever stupid issues they have. I made it VERY clear how angry and annoyed I am. I know she’ll tell them! I hope they get the god damned message this time. Did I mention I have not yet been contacted by the temporary peer support I’m supposed to meet this week? No one has said a word. No text, no call. Ughh
I did learn an interesting fact from Debbie. She said I do not have to have peer support through ACA, that I have a choice between agencies! I am going to call Spark which is a new one and see if they have any peer support people I already know, or if they think I’d be a good match with someone. I know the owner because she used to be MY peer support like six years ago!
I am so sore from the damned wreck. I can’t describe it. I have bruises where the seatbelt was around my waist and they are black! The one across my torso is a gross yellow and purple.
Meh.
